Thompson, president of the Western New York League of Republican Clubs read the following letter from President Tait: Beverly, Mass., Sept. 17, 1912. My dear Sir; I am very sorry not to be able to celebrate with you the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln on September 22, 1862, fifty years ago. I expect to attend another celebration of the event in Washington on the 23d of this month. The issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation was the initial and the most important step in the freeding of five millions of slaves, who with their descendants have never been freed. We constitute more than 10 per cent of our total population. It is of course an event that every lover of his country takes an intense interest in. Until the emancipation of the slaves that ours was the country of liberty was untrue. The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were utterly at variance with each other in recognition that the former gave to property in human kind. The exclamation of her representation the initial institution of slavery enabled all Americans to look the world in the face and say that our pretensions to absolute freedom were founded on fact and did not need the saving grace of exceptions in order to make them true. Mr. Lincoln suffered greatly by the criticism and abuse of those who thought he did not act quickly enough in issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, the attacks of those who thought the act was a great mistake. Now as we look back upon it we realize that his selection of the time was not until he could take it as a war measure under the Constitution and could defend what he did as within his lawful power as Commander in Chief of the army and navy in the war. The emancipation did not free all the slaves. It could not free those who were in territory not within the arena of war; but after he had issued this proclamation the commissioner the abolition of slavery as a constitutional amendment was a necessity and only a matter of time. It is right then that Lincoln should hold up in history as the man capable responsible for the freedom of the Negro. I sincerely hope that your celebration will be as successful as the greatness of the subject matter of gathering merits. Sincerely yours. WILLIAM H. TAFT. At Washington, D. C., the main celebration was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and was called a "Song Jubilee," in which 150 persons participated in the chorus. Jesse Lawson presided. Dr. S. M. Newman, president of Howard University, spoke on "The Fruits of Fifty Years of Freedom." Exercises were also held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church Monday evening, and President Taft was the chief speaker. At Zancsville, O., Monday evening, the Negroes held a big emancipation celebration at which William H. Lewis Assistant United States Attorney General made the principal address. Mr. Lewis said in part: "Fellow citizens, fifty years ago this day Abraham Lincoln gave to an anxious and distracted country the preliminary proclamation of emancipation, that on the first day of January next year he gave to all the slave-designated States the right to rebellion, should be the foremost and forever free. In the words of the great Emancipator, it was not which the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless, and by it we need to nobly save the last hope of earth. There are many days, with what joyous necism, with what praise the thanksgiving to the Almighty the promise of freedom was hailed by our fathers and our mothers. a promise which was to be made good for all time, in the brief period of a hundred days and nights. We of this generation rejoice that so many of the slaves themselves have survived to celebrate the jubilee of their freedom, to observe the matchless and wonderful progress of the race in a half century, to observe the wonderful possibilities of an endless human progress for ourselves, our children, and our children's children to the latest generation. "No State of the American Sisterhood has a better right to celebrate this day than the great State of Ohio. A unique and important state, the northwest territory dedicated by the American people forever to human freedom, her constitution adopted a hundred and ten years ago reaffirming the ordinance of the state to the men of the South as well as the men of the North, attune the liberty-loving character of her people. From the very beginning of her history the slave hood of Ohio, in bucky or Virginia and the slave States beyond the Ohio river, the tired and hunted fugitive fleeing the oppressions of slavery and seeking an asylum upon the free soil of Ohio, in the northwest territory of Commonwealth upon the outside; and the heart and heart-stones of her people received them, lodged them by day, fed the hungry, clothed the naked, defended them, and by night uprifted them to the land of freedom beyond. "Some of those fugitives fell in love with this land, so that defying the laying of the slave hound, the cruelty of the slave-catcher and the vengeance of the slave-catcher, the destinies of this State and its people. You, their descendants, who today enjoy the liberty, the freedom and the blessings of the Commonwealth, you press the innocent hound and by your loyalty and devotion to the highest interests of her people, you may ever prove worthy of no priceless a heritage." Anti-Slavery History or Ohio. "The slave who finds no parallel, no equal, save only in the history of Massachusetts. Slide by side, arm in arm, with that ancient Commonwealth, Ohio went through the glorious period of gratification and education which, as Phillips once said, was the reason for Johnson's conscience to mould its law." Anti-slavery agitation, beginning here in 1834 just five years after Garrison's voice was first raised for freedom in Massachusetts, not only advanced the cause of abolition, but created that public sentiment in West Virginia and Kentucky, and created the free State of West Virginia during the great Civil War. "Birney and the Philanthropist in Cincinnati, Garrison and the Liberator in Boston, and the man who manipulated with such vigor that one lost his printing press and the other barely escaped with his life. Finney was kidnapped in Columbus just as Burns was returned at Boston, and Price was taken to the Puritan City, Massachusetts sent Summer and Wilson to the Senator. Ohio sent Chase and Wade, whose simple names render eulogy superfluous. Your incompatible Giddings in Congress finds his complacent in the history of Massachusetts." Anti-slavery No Disrespect or Rescindation. "The place of human slavery in the Divine Economy I do not understand nor do I defend it, but I am glad that the human race has long since passed that stage in its development. I count it no disgrace nor degradation, only a great misfortune that my ancestors for a long time cannot and will not allow that fact to place the slightest restraint or limitation upon my rights and duties as a man and citizen nor upon my ambition to rise in the service of God and country. Nor will I ever consent to the laws of God, nor shall I accept the shall accept an inferior cost or political status because of a history no different from that of other men. I have nothing but the utmost pity and the greatest sympathy for the man of narrow vision or stunted moral growth who believes that his happiness and supremacy depend on the sufferings and degradation of his own destiny and despair of their emancipation. They will come when the scales will fall from their eyes, the manacles from their feet, and they will catch a new conception of life, they will obtain a The New York Age. new view of their relations to their fellows, and at last catch up with the procession of humanity. I believe in to-day, the here and the now. This is the day of days, it is the best day and day of days, and it is the best day of days its scroll unrolled. All the sorrows and griefs of yesterday are behind us; they belong with yesterday's 7,000 years, they are one with Nineveh and with Tyre. Back of us stands the accession of all the ages. I would have you forget the past and live in the present. "The world moves and we move with it; we cannot stand still while our planet revolves around the sun. The world is pacing the stage in civilization where men are fighting for the more or less life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and is entering upon a new period of securing social and industrial justice for all. We seem to be pacing the stage of direct government in which each man shall speak for the common origin and descent of the human race gives to each species the right to occupy the earth in peace, prosperity and plenty, and that the duty of each race is to promote the happiness of all mankind. We see that this larger view of humanity, this greater conception of human duty, Let us upon this day take renewed faith and courage. The spirit of human progress, o f advancing civilization, the higher evolution of man is behind us and under our guidance. We lift us up to the heights of which our ancestors never dreamed. "I believe that our country, the state and the nation will be able to meet the great social and economic needs just as the other nations and the world are doing. And more. I believe that we shall go further and show the world how people of many races, cultures and backgrounds together upon the same soil under just and beneficial laws, each working together for the good of all, improving their social and industrial conditions, promoting democracy, thus producing a happy state and a great triumphant nation." F. L. McGHEE DEAD Special to THE NEW YORK AGE St. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 24—Frederick L. McGhee, Minnesota's leading Negro lawyer, died Thursday, September 19, at his residence, 665 W. University avenue. While running after turkeys on his Wisconsin farm several months ago, Mr. McGhee broke a ligament in his right leg and was compelled to use crutches. He took to his bed, septic pneumonia setting in, and despite the best medical aid he never recovered. Mr. McGhee was born in Aberdeen, Miss., in October, 1861. His parents moved to Knoxville, Tenn., after the Civil War, where he was educated. In 1890 he went to Chicago to live and in 1895 was admitted to the bar. He moved to St. Paul in 1889, and had the distinction of being the first Negro practice law in the Supreme Court of Minnesota. Mr. McGhee married in 1886 and leaves a widow, a daughter and a brother. The funeral was held Monday from St. Peter Claver Catholic Church. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1912. DEFEAT "GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE Proposition to Disfranchise Negroes in Arkansas Fails of Passage—Prohibitionists Favor Obnexious Measure but Lose on All Questions. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 24—Complete returns from the recent State election held in Arkansas show that the "grandfather" clause has been decisively defeated. The fight for the adoption of a clause in the constitution which was known as Amendment No. 11, and which would have distranchised thousands of Negroes in the State, was advocated by Senator Jeff Davis, Governor George W. Bush, Governor and members of the Prohibitionists. The alignment of voters was somewhat peculiar. The majority of Prohibitionists favored Negro disfranchishment. Therefore the colored voters lined up with the liquor men, with the result that the "grandfather" clause was defeated, as was the proposition to have State-wide prohibition. The Negroes of Arkansas took an active part in defending Amendment No. 11, and turned out at the polls in large numbers, polling the largest Negro vote in the history of the State. J. E. Bush, S. A. Jones, Dr. E. C. Morris, Prof. Joseph A. Booker and Dr. D. B. Gaines worked ceaselessly to prevent the disfranchisement. The Democratic convention refused to put the amendment in its platform, and the plan was vigorously opposed by many Democrats throughout the State. The Republican convention condemned the amendment, as did the Socialists. WOMEN'S CONGRESS Special to The New York Acr WASHINGTON, D.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 24.—One of the few Negroes who has ever served a railroad in the United States in the capacity of dining car conductor is C. H. Paul, who occupied this post on a special train over the Southern Pacific last week bearing Negro delegates from New Orleans to Houston, Texas for the National Negro Baptist Convention, Capt. George W. Ely, of Montgomery, traveling passenger agent of the Southern Pacific who accompanied the special train of Negroes to Houston, stated in Montgomery-Monday morning that, owing to the fact that there was none but Negro passengers aboard, the railroad decided to have Negroes as conductor and chef on the dining car. "C. H. Paul, who was selected as conductor, is a regular dining car waiter who has been in the service a number years, said Capt. Ely, "and he is reliable. The chef on the diner was also waiter of long service with the Southern Pacific. They both held down their jobs admirably well." The only white persons on the train were the crew, Capt. Ely and the assistant superintendent, the latter two having a special drawing room. The Negro delegates were to well pleased with the service reed a letter to J. H. L. New Orleans, general pa of the Southern Pacific. Captain Ely for his attention taking handling of the tra complimenting Paul, the N. car conductor Ministry Per Cent. of the Grocery Business Candidates by Chinese Native Need Commercial and Industrial Education. J. Alex. Mackenzie, superintendent of the United Fruit Company at Port Antonio, and one of the leading Negro citizens of Jamaica, is a visitor in New York. Mr. Mackenzie, who is in this country on business and pleasure combined, is stopping at the Clio Studio, in W. 156th street. When seen by a representative of The Age he was not averse to talking about Jamaica, and waxed enthusiastic over the industrial and commercial possibilities of that country. "Jamaica, as well as the other islands in the West Indies, has a bright future in store, from a commercial viewpoint," stated Mr. Mackenzie. "Never has the outlook been so cheerful as now. The opening of the Panama Canal will make Jamaica a more important center, and while all the other islands of the West Indies with the exception of Jamaica have become a part of the federation with Canada, yet my country will benefit by this new alliance. Opposed to Federation with Canada. "Jamaica refuses to agree to federation with Canada because of the large amount of business it does annually with the United States. As conditions are now we export bananas, coffee, grape fruit, allspice and cocoanuts in large quantities without paying duty. Were we to join the federation, which would mean that the United States would have to pay duty on goods brought into Jamaica, it is quite likely that it would retailize. Were we compelled to pay duty, on our bananas, etc., the injury to our export trade to the United States would be great." "What is needed in Jamaica is the creation of a strong business relationship between the Negroes of Jamaica and those of this country. The opportunities for business are large in my country, but the business of exporting the products of the soil to this country is in its infancy. There is no reason why the Negroes of the United States and Jamaica should not get closer together and do business with each other along lines that would be beneficial to all concerned. "What the native of Jamaica is lacking in is an industrial and a commercial education. Thousands of them can speak Greek and Latin and know much about the sciences, but they are utterly deficient when it comes to engaging successfully in large business enterprises. In Jamaica and the other islands all the banks are conducted by white men because we have no Negroes capable of managing them. Then the soil of Jamaica, which is so rich and fertile, has tilled the scientifically have been contending for a number of years that the young men of Jamaica should be sent to the Negro schools in the United States rather than England and other countries for an education, for what they would learn in this country would be of more value to them and Jamaica. Chinese Send Home $350,000 Yearly. "To illustrate what a small part the native plays in the commercial life of his country I will submit the following figures: Only two per cent. of the natives are engaged in the grocery business in Jamaica, while the other ninety-eight per cent. are composed exclusively of Chinese, who are said to send home annually $350,000, which is made in my country. There are from five thousand to six thousand Chinese in Jamaica, and they come by way of Halifax. They are the Japanese of the native apathy in business and unduly done soon they will monopolize the commercial situation. The population of Jamaica is over 80,000. Of this number only 16,000 are white, and yet the Negroes are engaged in but a small portion of the business being done. "I am told that hundreds of natives come to the United States from Jamaica. I am also aware that there are many more who are desirous of coming. My estimate is that about one thousand natives leave their country for the United States yearly. This is due to business and not social conditions. Labor is better paid here than in Jamaica. Therefore the native wants to be where he can get more money. In the two countries the Negro finds quite a difference. Only the white man preaches against "social equality" and gives you an opportunity to earn a good living. In Jamaica the white man is strong, impricing with you, but when it comes to positions he usually wants them myself. This is the difference between the prejudice of the American man and the white man of Jamaica." Mackenzie will remain in New .. until the end of the week, when we will sail (or Jamaica. "BILLIE"GRATTON A SUICIDE Popular Philadelphia Kills Himself Tuesday Afternoon—Death a Big Shock to Friends—Deceased Was Moving Spirit of Soap Box Minstrels. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept 25—Tuesday about 3.30 p.m., William H. Grattan, better known as "Billie," was found dead at his place of business in South street, from a liquid poison. The news quickly-spread, and thousands of interested and curious persons gathered there the rest of the day. He left letters to his wife, son and foreman, which are held by the Coroner's assistants. "Billie" Gratton was one of the best known men here, where he has lived for many years. He won friends by a marked personality and general manner, and the general public was attracted to him by reason of his gifts at acting, singing, dancing and mimicry. For years he did team work with "Billie" Morris, the once amateur long-distance runner, and both were clever in whatever they did. At the inception of the famous Soap Box Minstrels, he was in the original roster and its success was mainly due to his teaching. Only four weeks ago he piloted his pet organization to a successful effort at Atlantic City. Always in good humor, and generous beyond means, his loss will be felt, not only by the Citizens' Club, but the city generally. "BILL" McDONALD A VISITOR Republican Leader of Texas Predicts Election of Taft—Fraternal Bank and Trust Company of Ft. Worth Does Big Business. W. H. McDonald, the acknowledged Republican leader of Texas, and who played a prominent part in the nomination of Taft at Chicago, spent several days in New York in the interest of the Fraternal Bank and Trust Company of Fort Worth, of which he is cashier and moving spirit. Mr. McDonald predicts that Mr. Taft will win in November, and says the coming election is going to furnish a number of big surprises. New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and Iowa are among the States the Texas leader believes will be carried by the President. The Fraternal Bank and Trust Company is capitalized at $100,000, and was opened by grocers in 1880. The Mayer Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias have stock in the company, which is in excellent shape. During one month $618,000 worth of business was transacted by the bank. A SCURBIOUS PLACARD Attack Made on Negro at Hygiene Congress Which Gives Delegates From Different Countries Wrong Impression of Race. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25.—The Negroes of this city have become indignant over the malicious attack made on the Negroes of the United States by some incarcerant who saw fit to circulate a placard among the delegates from thirty-three nations at the Hygiene Congress being held here, which is misleading and does not state facts. The scurrilous placard says in part. "There are about 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States, 87,000 of these are in Philadelphia. "Hospital experience enters at some time into the life of nearly every city Negro. Hospital's records show that practically all city male Negroes indulge in promiscuous sex intercourse and carry with them venereal disease. "It is the rare exception in hospital experience for a male Negro to fail to admit having been infected with both syphilis and herpes. These occurrences with him almost a matter of course. Almost never is treatment carried to the point of cure. "The result of the general infection of the city male Negro is the almost equally wide syphilization of the female population. The vast majority of city Negro girls have been violated long before maturity and very few have escaped infection with both syphilis and gonococcus diseases. "The gravest problem to be faced with in dealing with the city Negro is not his or her industrial future or right to social equality with the white man or woman. It is the danger of his or her contagiousness or infectiousness from the standpoint of physical and moral disease." The chart then goes on to say that illicit intercourse between the races is taking place to an alarming extent hardly believed by those who have not investigated the subject. Says that one-third of the American Negroes have an admixture of blood, and that scanning the features and color of the Negroes on the street forces home the conviction that nearly all carry the blood of the race. Resolutions denunciatory of the placard have been passed and the following committee has been appointed to find out who was responsible for the placard: F. H. McMurray, Virginia, the Rev. E. E. Pecks, District of Columbia, the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, District of Columbia, the Rev. J. D. Corsothers, New York; the Rev. J. E. Church, New Jersey, and R. S. Wilkinson, South Carolina. A protest has been made to the State Department under whose auspices the Congress of Hygiene is being held. WASHINGTON SCHOOLS Washington, D. C. Sept 25 The public schools of the District of Columbia opened Monday. Among the changes in the colored schools were the detachment of the Business High School from the Armstrong Memorial Training School and the placing of W. T. S. Jackson in charge. PRICE, 5 CENTS BEN DAVIS SAYS DOBRED NY Free Circ Library Accuses Edward H. Morris of Breaking Faith in Letter to The Age "Old Guard" in G.U.O.O.F. Was in the Habit of Trading for Office Years in Advance Atlanta Man Claims Morris broke Gomar's Agreement Made Two Years Age—Inside History of Baltimore B.M.C. Benjamin J. Davis, who failed to realize his cherished ambition—that of being chosen Grand Master of the G. U. O. O. F.—is in a reflective state of mind and in describing to Tare-Ace how he was run over by the steam roller at the recent B. M. C. held at Atlanta, declares that he was robbed but not defeated. In charging that Edward E. Medriss committed the greatest outrage ever perpetrated against the order by preventing his election at Atlanta, Davig forgetful of house gracefully the Baltimore B. M. C. two years ago was conducted, "jumps on Morris with both feet," charging that Morris broke a gentleman's agreement after he (Davis) had made him Grand Master. In a lengthy letter to THE Age Davis tells how the members of the "Old Girdar" have been meeting and agreeing two years in advance who should be chosen Grand Master, etc., caring little as to what the rank and life of the order had to say about the selection of Grand Master or any other officer. Two years ago, according to Davis, Morris made a trade with him, the Chicagoan agreeing to buy it, a pet proposition of the establishment of a supreme Court was adopted Davis would be chosen Grand Master at Atlanta. Morris is quoted as telling Davis that he no longer wanted to be Grand Master, but was ambitions to serve as Chief Justice. Davis says Morris assured him up to 3 o'clock Friday evening, September 13, that he favored his election as Grand Master: that, whenever he asked the Chicagoan about adverse rumors about Morris would tell him that everything was favorable. Davis claims that it had not been for him Morris would have been defeated for Grand Master at the Baltimore B. M. C., as seventy-five per cent of the population, had the result of whose election there was a split in the order, several lodges following J. C. Ashbury. Benjamin J Davis' letter to THE Age follows: "The American people convergent with Odd Fellow affairs in this country, in common with the members of the order, confidently expected me to be O. E. in America, at the Atlanta meeting. The public had a right to rely upon this result, for the reason that the delegates elected to the 16th B. M. C. were instructed to the nine men. The public understood that there would be no opposition, and the public, in common with the craft, is entitled to an explanation. The members of the order, they ought to so cast the view. They ought to know whether their representatives, instructed, disregarded their instructions or what not, and I shall endeavor to tell the whole truth, to give the story as it was written by the members of the order, but this disregard was not serious enough to in any way affect the result the people had a right to expect. And to be frank and fair with 50 per cent. of the delegates I have no complaint. I must consent if I expect any opposition to me, any more than I expected it, for the reason a gentleman's agreement existed between the Grand Master, myself and every other member of the order, and a right to rely upon every member of the agreement as a gentleman and brother. We had no right to suppose there was a Judas or traitor in our camp, and for that reason, no provision was taken against the result recorded. The Agreement "We were misled because our confidence and faith in the integrity of our Grand Master who had begged his way into the mastership by a solemn promo. and we were told he would be murderer. In 1910, he mude known to his brothers in July that he wanted to sell around the world, and while on route, he wanted to set up several lodges in foreign countries and desired to be the head of the order at that time, as it would incur insurrection that he could not otherwise obtain. At that time, I was the choice of the brothers for Grand Master, but being a young man, I acquiesced and yielded to the wish of my senior and most faithful Vow with me and introduced through Jawson Lawson No. 2450 the proposition to establish the Supreme Court, with the understanding that if the proposition were adopted and the Court established, he would not be candidate for Grand Master in 1912 and would seek a place on the Supreme Court bench, as that was his highest (Consumed on Page 3.)

The men of '61 fought to give the black man and the black woman a fair chance in the war, they didn't they fought to keep the Union whole. By the war, did the Colonel light to give the black man a fair chance in the war, convention in New York Sun. As a matter of fact, the Administration at Washington, dominated in the War Department by Secretary Stanton, and the rank and file of the Union army in the field, were opposed to the employment of the Negro as a soldier and the war might have closed disastrously for the Union cause if Gen. Benjamin F. Butler at Hampton; Gen. David Hunter at Hilton Head and Gen. John Eaton, with the sympathy and support of Gen. U. S. Grant, in the Department of the Mississippi, had not "ceded the Negro into the army, first" contraband of war, then as laborer, then as tatiger and finally as soldier. Once, at the ration counter the Negro made good all along the line, as a soldier, and compelled the white soldiers, "the men of 'ol," to respect him as a good eater, a good laborer and a good fighter. When the heroic young Robert G. Shaw fell fighting with his black troopers in the trenches of Fort W. Wagner the brutal Rebels yelled: "Bury him with his 'muggers'!" So they did, and when the general roll is called they will answer together, as they stand high on the scroll of fame, "Here we are, Father Abraham!" "They fought to keep the Union whole," also. No! Col. Roosevelt did not give the black man a fair chance at the progressive convention, nor at Brownville, nor in his History of the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill. He takes so much credit to himself in every situation that it is impossible for him to give others credit for anything. He is the Big White Fish, which, shark-like, eats up all the other fish to make fat of flesh and reputation of fame for Theodore Roosevelt. If he had gone into the whale's belly he would have eaten up the host instead of coaxing it to spew him out, as Jonah wisely did. WOMAN'S WORK What is woman's work? It is to be so defined by custom as to be as unmistakable as the clothing she wears, distinguishing her from mere man, and it was considered as unwomanly to do man's work as to wear man's clothing. Even now the woman who wears short hair is looked upon as being as queer as the man who wears long hair. The tendency among some women to wear clothing fashioned after that of men, like riding horschack, astrid, is frowned soon by those who wear nothing but degeneration of the face in the unsexing of the woman in her clothing, manners and occupations. Women have of late years so entrenched upon the occupations of men in the office, the store and the factory as to lessen the wage earning capacity of men and the ability of men to support families, so that marriages are fewer and divorces are more numerous than in old times. The wages paid to women who do the work of men is less than that paid to men, and women do not spend their earnings in family making and educating as men do. Indeed, how a woman will spend a dollar bill is as much of mystery as what a Bull Mouse would do in the White House. And women who begin life as independent wage earners, and who constantly associate with men in their employments, develop a freedom from mutual helpliness and a certain hardness or manners that unites them for the successful work of the home as was and THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND TO BE VOTED FOR. The right to vote and to be voted for is so far the basic principle in citizenship as in the absence of it a mass is not a citizen at all but can be robbed and abused at pleasure by any one mean enough to take advantage of his weakness. The Federal Constitution defines citizenship as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the State where they reside," and it is made obligatory that "no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." Again: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." There is no confusion in the wording of the Federal Constitution as to who are citizens of the United States and of the several States, nor in the power of Congress to enforce the provisions of the law, or to punish any State which denies such right of citizenship. The right of enforcement is lodged in the Congress rather than in the courts, which is measurably unfortunate, as the Congress is always partisan in sentiment and given to legislation or no legislation as party policy may dictate, as in the instances of the Lodge Federal Elections bill and the Blair Federal Aid to Education bill, while the courts are presumably nonpartisan in sentiment and supposed to administer the laws of Congress strictly as to the letter and spirit of the Federal Constitution. As it is a party question, then it is of the utmost importance to the Negro citizen that he keep in mind the fact that his citizenship and the guaranty of it were planted in the Constitution by the Republican party, and that the Republican party is now and has been unchanged in its policy as to the Negro's citizenship and the solemn guaranty of it. The Republican party is the Negro's home; he was born in it, and his right in it has never been challenged in a National Republican convention. President Taft stands for what his party stands; neither has the Negro's right to vote and to be voted for been challenged by the supreme council of the party, or by President Taft, who is on record in the Maryland disfranchising contest as being wholly in sympathy with the policy and history of the Republican party in this matter, and by his appointment and retention in high Federal positions of distinguished Negroes. The Negro's position in the Republican party is exactly the same as that of any other body of partisans; what he has got and what he will get out of the party in protection of his rights as a man and citizen and in distribution of party honors has and will depend upon him in exactly the same way as it does upon other partisans or body of partisans. Organization and leadership of the proper sort count for or against the Negro partisan in the party in exactly the same way as it does for or against other sorts of partisans or body of partisans. The retention in office of Mr. Charles W. Anderson as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second New York district, the largest revenue district in the country; the appointment of Mr. William H. Lewis of Massachusetts to be Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Charles H. Cottrell of Ohio to be Collector of Internal Revenue for Hawaii, Mr. Robert H. Terrell to be a civil magistrate in the District of Columbia, and many other high Federal offices in the domestic and foreign service, shows that President Taft is sound on the question of giving Negro partisans fair consideration in appointments to office as he is sound on the vital question of the Negro's right to vote. There are some people who undervalue the principle of holding office, but they belong unconsciously to the class of those who undervalue the principle of voting. The right to vote and to be voted for go together, like the right to representation as a law maker if taxed. The National Democratic party ignores the right of the Negro to vote and to be voted for, but in all of the Southern States, where the Negro is a large voting factor, the Democratic party has, since 1876, not only denied the Negro the right to vote and be voted for, but has prevented him from doing so by violence to his person and property, by intimidation and bloody murder, by disfranchisingaws pronouncedly "on account of race, color and previous condition of servitude," and in direct violation and defiance of Federal constitutional provision and guaranty. The National Republican party has never sanctioned this monstrous condition, but has denounced it again and again in platform declarations and made repeated efforts in the Congress to meet it by appropriate legislation; but partisan majorities like partisan minorities in the Congress are restricted and hampered in ways that defeat their desire and effort to correct flagrant abuses by States in their regulation of the citizenship. The Progressive party, at the dictation and upon the insistence of Col. Roosevelt, at Chicago, adopted the identical policy and attitude of the Democratic party toward the Negro citizen: that is, that he may not vote or be voted for in the Southern States unless the white members of the party, "his neighbors," say so, and that he may vote and be voted for in the Northern and Western States where there is no question at all as to his right to do so. The attitude of the two parties is identically the same. We have no respect whatever for the attitude of either of them. In a situation such as now confronts us we prefer as a matter of justice and self-respect to ourselves to remain in the Republican party, the attitude and policy of which are the same everywhere for all shades and races of its membership. And it is the only one of the three parties which stands to-day for the Constitution as amended and for sane and safe administration of the government, with President Taft as the best balanced and best equipped candidate for the Presidency mothers. The sons of Sparta always knew their mothers but never their fathers. It is that way now with dogs, human and canine. A masculine woman is as dangerous in the home as a feminine man. For instance, the Philadelphia Traction Company has been experimenting with women conductors, in order to minimize the trouble it has with men and to reduce the cost of operating expenses. If the experiment succeeds the men conductors will have to go, as the ticket sellers have gone, and the motormen will be in danger of losing their jobs. After a woman has been a trolley car conductor for a month who would have her for a wife. The ages of woman masculinity and rule have always been the death ages of man femininity and rule. The woman's work is essentially in the home. The home is the foundation upon which the Christian church and state are built. Destroy the Christian home by unsexing woman in her work and manners as wife and mother and daughter, and the under-world, the wolves and swine of the social order will rise up and sweep the Christian church and state from the may world. What then? The answer is to be found in the state home before the Christian era. The Christian philosophy was designed from beginning to keep the children of the woman in the relationship to her and to the woman and the state. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1912. no human race might be perpetuated, the races before the Christian era were not. The thoughtful women of the Negro race should study this matter. What the race needs are men, and it can't have them if the Negro women follow their white sisters out of the home and family making into the world of affairs where they must cease to be women and cannot be men. THE MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE QUESTION. It is a general consensus of opinion that marriages are on the decrease and divorces are on the increase. Chicago may be regarded as the modern Babel, where all known tongues are spoken by remnants of all races actuated by phases of all desires and sins that afflict human nature; on this account it is one of the best collection of communities in the world for the study of human nature at its worst and at its best; from the viewpoint of Overseer Voliva at Zion City to that of Jane Adams at Hull House, and from that of Jokin Lloyd Jones at the Abrahams Lincoln Center to that of Frank Consulus at the Armour Institute, and Grace House John at the Slums where crime and want skulk in militant and power in the day It is potential, therefore, that a pro- tition should have been started in begins to certain of the clergy and community of the city and usually of confederate marry and that the proposition should have attained the dignity of a cult, called "Enguemen," that is gaining converts all over the country. It is also natural that a Chicago municipal judge, Gemmill by name, of the Court of Domestic Science Relations, should announce that he will "keep an elaborate statistical record of the causes of family quarrels, so that at the end of the year he may be able to tell the whys and wherefores of the trouble on a general basis." Statistics teach a great many useful lessons, and of making figures there is no end, and much confusion, so that it is often easy to localize the evil but seldom to find the remedy that will destroy it. Take the strange case of Joseph Troiana, who is wealthy, healthy, handsome and twenty-nine years of age, who has just married his mother-in-law, Mrs. Columbia Di Mure, who is seventy-nine years of age, short, stout and "lacking in physical charm and beauty," at Norwalk, Cousin; what would the high brows of Eugenics do in such a case, and what sort of tabulation in his statistics would Judge Gemmill make of it? Until the Beast in human inheritance, the guest uninvited at every marriage feast is destroyed, there will be minates in the home and divorces in the courts. FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM. Fifty years ago, September 22, 1862, by a preliminary proclamation, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, emancipated the American Negro from chattel slavery, transformed him from a thing of property without control-over itself into a person of flesh and blood and life and soul, and with rights which "a white man was bound to respect" or be responsible to the law for not doing so. The proclamation signaled the birth of the Negro as a man. What has the Negro done as a free man to justify the emancipating act of President Lincoln and the long and fierce contention of the anti-slavery warriors in his behalf? Many good and faithful friends of the Negro have answered for him the past week that he has done and is doing well and promises to do better, as a man and citizen, with the coming and going of the years, and he himself by his words and works has answered that it is so in his home, school and church life and in the social and industrial aspiration and achievements of the nation. The God of Abraham has made and is making good His promise to the children of Sarah. SHOULD THE NATION TAX THE WHISKEY TRAFFIC? People who love liquor better than they do water have much trouble with liquor. The popularity of white and red liquor in the Southern States, like slavery of the body and spirit of black and white persons in them before and since their emancipation, has been a curse to the people of the South, and one of the principal causes of the crimes against persons and property for which they and their section are and have been notorious. B H Howard, of Louisville, secretary of the National Federation of National Revenue, Storekeepers and Gangers, at the Federation meeting, says "it is impossible to wipe out the moonshine whiskey business in the South." "Two thousand illicit distilleries were broken up by revenue officers in the South last year, which is twice as many as the number of registered distilleries in the same region." These figures are staggering when the demoralization caused by the liquor habit is studied in the court records of the country. For instance, the Federal Government alone collected $322,529,201 of internal revenue taxes, independently of the State and municipal taxation of the trade in 1912. The tax constitutes a criminal taxation of vice and crime and a premium upon National immorality and degeneration by the Nation. LILY WHITE SOUTH. In the New Orleans Times Democrat of Sunday, September 15, appears an address "To the White Voters of Louisiana in In behalf of the Progressive Party." This "address," is signed by John M. Parker; arch lily white of the South and a candidate at the recent Bull Moose Convention for Vice President; he it will be recalled was ignominiously kicked about and flattened out, however, so that there was nothing left of his utterable ambitions. During the course of this remarkable document, Parker states: Many of us correctly believe that the only gate for future salvation politically throughout the South is through the formation of two white parties. Throughout the whole of this so-called "address to the white voters of Louisiana" is the implied and direct statement that the Negro is to have no part whatever in party organization, and is to be considered wholly from the standpoint of being a back number. The Pull Moose management is making an appeal in the North for Negro votes. Its managers are going ahead with a huge campaign of devotion so far the Negro in the North is concerned, and of indecent and unfairness in the South, which is concerned. It is a damn thing to throw it down whether they be white or black, and a program which the black GHOST OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY voters of the North by their votes in November will repudiate overwhelmingly. EDITORIAL NOTES "The fight is on!" said Dr. Ranomso. So. Let confusion reign at Armageddon. Mayor Gaynor would be a great executive if he were not so irritable. Baltimore News. But he is all irritability, a disease with which many great men have held to death. Oscar S. Straus was a Democrat before he became a Progressive. As the Bull Mouse candidate for Governor of New York, it is said, he will draw a host of Democratic voters after him. Why should the people desire a King to rule over them, both of whom made Israel to sin. Is not Col. Roosevelt of the Overlord stuff that the plebeian Caesar and Bonaparte were made? He is. The Bull Moosevelt would Mexicanize the United States if so he could not overlord it. All of the United Confederate Veterans in Oklahoma except seven at a reunion at Ada, on a poll taken, it was found, were in favor of Col. Roosevelt, and the Democrats of the State are much worked up over the discovery. Oklahoma is now a Democratic stronghold, and it would be in the nature of the censure of the situation obtaining there if the Progressives should succeed to it. The National Republican Committee has forced off its membership roll all those members whose loyalty to the party and to President Taft was doubtful. They should not have waited to be forced off the roll. Bull Moose morality makes a good listener that "they should not steal," but has not hesitated since the Chinese convention to steal or seek to steal every party advantage possible. --- The American Wood and Cotton Renter, which should know, declares that "American girls are a string bigger and bigger less" holding by the standard sizes of stockings demanded by the trade. Drift horses are all large landlod, so are cattle intended for the Southerner, but the aristocratic Arabian horse and the gentle lamb remain the same now as in the beginning, delicate in humble and dignity in action. "We have outgrown many things," says the Baltimore Afro-American Leder, "and are continually reaching forth to things which are before." For example, the Leder has forgotten the Republican party, over which it passed from slavery to freedom, and is supporting the Progressive party, over which Col. Roosevelt invited it in the Julian Harris letter to pass back from freedom to slavery, at the pleasure of the Southern white masters of the Progressive party in their States. And that is "outgrowing" some with a vengeance. Mr. Frank A. Munsey has purchased the New York Press, a long-time Republican newspaper, established when we were very young by the late Frank Hatton and Robert P. Porter as a rocked-high Protection organ, but which bus of recent years been a chronic kicker against Republican men and measures. Mr. Munsey, who owns a string of newspapers, will make the Press the New York morning organ of the Bull Moose party. Mr. Munsey thinks that the sun of American life rises and sets in Col. Roosevelt, a very funny thought which many men, some of them black men and yellow, share as a passing delusion. It is very difficult for persons to see themselves as others see them. Col. Bryan, Gov. Wilson and Col. Roosevelt, who never wary of denouncing Boston and Party Rosses, are among the most pronounced types of the Political boss this country has produced. Each of them seeks to rule his party without let or hindrance and will stand for no interference with his dictation. President Taft is not that kind of party leader. He leans for support upon the leaders of the party and eagerly seeks and accepts advice as to party government that is good leaders who are always do that. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, one of the most influential newspapers in the country, scores the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives for failure to make the $100,000 appropriation for the education of Indians at Hampton Institute which has been appropriated during the past 34 years. In small things and great the Democratic majority is always very short and uncertain in any matter in which the Negro and Indian are concerned. --- White crap-shooters have become so common in Trenton that the blacks have been pretty well run out of the game. Magistrate Naar will ask the legislature to pass a law that will specially fit the case of crap-shooting. Rev. J. H. McMullen of New York writing in the Star of Zion, says that thousands of the church membership come to the North from the South and get lost in the multitude, neglecting to unite with the church in the North. He suggests that southern pastors could do much to prevent this heavy drain on the church membership by keeping the northern pastors informed of the name and location of members who go to the North. The suggestion is a good one. It is easier to keep up with and hold the old members than to capture and hold new ones. Many Southern churchmen who come North neglect to connect themselves with any church, often with unfortunate results, especially in the case of young people, who are prone anyhow to drift into the whirlpools of city life and become submerged. President Taft, it has been given out at National Republican headquarters in New York, believes he will have 290 electoral votes, whereas only 266 are necessary to elect him. The President bases his calculations upon the figures submitted to him by Chairman Hodges, that the total popular vote will be 10,000,000 this year against 14,884,412 in 1909. As the campaign progresses the Republicans gain in confidence and strength, the Progressives settle down to the toll and finish where they dropped in the recent Vermont and Maine elections and the Democrats are losing the many cocksure air with which they rush out of灯亮 upon the country with a loud sheet. The outlook for Republican success grows brighter every day, the more the people who think and vote think it over. It is the business of every good citizen to keep on thinking in the right direction until he has voted November 5. The Philippine Commissomer to the United States, Mr Manuel L. Quizon, has established at Washington is monthly periodical, to be called "The Filipino People" to promote the cause of Filipino independence." In a letter just received from a valued correspondent in the Philippines we learn that the Filipinos are, for the most part, in favor of the election of Gov. Wilson for President, as they believe the Democratic party, which is pledged to do so, will give them their independence. "It is beyond the conception of the Filipino," he says, "that a black man can be a Republican." Perhaps our new contemporary, The Filipino People, will explain it for them, that, traditionally and politically, the Democratic party has no good blood for any Asiatic or African. The Luke Wright administration of Filipino affairs, in succession to the Taft administration, on the spot should have taught them that. When a man gets tangled in logic he has a hard time to get straightened again. Col. Roosevelt, in Los Angeles said: "The Progressive party is lightning to give every man and woman in the United States a fair chance in the battle of life. It is fighting to give to every free man the heritage of a free man." But in his letter to Julian Harris of Georgia, he did not include "every man and woman in the United States" he explicitly excluded every black man and woman in the southern States from the Progressive party whom Julian Harris and other white men of the South should not approve and stamp as being "good niggers." That's the size of it, and it is now beyond the power of Col. Roosevelt to reduce the size of it for private pleasure or public profit. Col William Jennings Bryan, who is not popular with the Mugwump Democrats, has take the stump for Wilson and himself and much damage is expected to the Democratic cause as the outcome of his activities. Gov. Wilson also activated the stump in a private car at that after declaring he would not campaign much, because Col Russell had ripped the blood out of the Central and Western States. It is not wise nor safe for a man on the time line to declare what he will and will not do, as finally he will be compelled to do what his opponent compels him to do. Col. Bryan, Col. Roosevelt and Prof. Wilson—which of the three is the honest man? Both of them robbed Col. Bryan of his "policies," and so far they both seem to have fallen heir to his misfortune in seeking to reach the White House against the wishes of a majority of the voters of the country by pandering to the passions rather than to the reason of the people. They are three unfortunates, they. # A. Correction. We thank the writer of the article in last week's issue of The Age concerning the reception given by the White Boys Industrial Association, but would like to state that invitations were issued solely in honor of our retiring superintendent, Mrs. F. R. Keyser, and not incidentally for any other person. For Miss Magman's Friends. In reference to the account of Miss E. H. Magnaan's death in the last issue of *Trial Ace*, permit me to say that there were too many friends who contributed to the choir and comfort of the deceased to give special attention. I would be glad, therefore, if you would print this note in *Trial Ace*, so that the friends of Miss Magnaan might know that she constantly thought of them and thanked them. I was the realization of her inability to personally reach the very many friends to whom she felt no grateful. WILSON AND EMANCIPATION Chairman of Republican National Committee Points Out Where Choice of Democrats for President Attacked Abraham Lincoln. At this time when the Negroes throughout the United States are celebrating in various ways the fifteenth anniversary of the first proclamation of ennunciation and when the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Woodrow Wilson, is appearing to the people of the Western States to support him, it is fitting that the chairman of the political committee organized to further the cause of the candidates of the Republican party for President and Vice President should call attention to an expression of opinion by Gov. Wilson at a period in his career when possibly he never dreamed of being a candidate for a political office. That expression of opinion as made in his capacity of historian, and it adds to the cumulative testimony that he was until he became a candidate, and that he is now, un-American in his views of the question of the class of American citizens and out of sympathy with their purposes and their beliefs. It was on September 22, 1862, that President Lincoln issued a proclamation giving formal notice that unless the Southern States returned to their allegiance to the Union within one hundred days he would declare the slaves within their borders free, and it was on the 1st of January, 1863, following, that a definite proclamation of emancipation was issued. Of this crowning event of the career of the immortal Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson says in his "History of the American People," written forty years afterwards: The proclamation, when it came, was no law, but only his (Lincoln) deliberate declaration of policy for himed and for his party; and ceded the man that if he should change, the whole air of the struggle and of politics as well. "It is safe to say that not even the most radical unreconstructed Southern man would attribute to Lincoln this motive which it remained for the historian Woodrow Wilson alone to discover, that Lincoln abolished slavery to further his own political ambitions and those of his political party. The statement adds proof to much already at hand that Woodrow Wilson forty years after the war, was, and presumably still is, devoid of sympathy for the motive and results of the Civil War. "The quotation from the Democratic candidate's writings proves that he is not a reliable historian nor a fair commentator, goes on to show what had been often asserted that of Wilson, not at heart an admirer of or a superior American institutions, as his other writings and speeches show that he is not aologist of American industries nor a defender of American labor. He continually slanders millions of adopted citizens from abroad who have become good Americans. He angrens at trade unions and apparently he would, if he could, A "Everything that can be learned about Guy W. Wilson from his writings, from his speeches, and from his manner of living, indicate that he is not the type of man who can really appeal for the support of the American people."

She has her favorites, it is true, but her favors are shown to those who deserve nemr. Opportunity has nothing against you." A few days ago I met a woman about twenty-five years of age who could neither read nor write, yet she had lived in New York for six or seven years. It seems incredible with the excellent educational advantages abounding in this great city, there should be one content to feminine ignorant of the most elusive of things. At this season New York throws wide her school doors and says to all, regardless of race, creed or color. "Come—without money or price." There are day schools, evening schools, colleges—all free to every one desirous of drinking at the foundation of knowledge. If we neglect to do so the fault is ours and not that of the City of New York. There are still the faint hearted once of color who say, "What's the use?" which accounts in part for the small number of colored boys and girls who complete the college course. Those who perceive do so often in the face of discouragement from relatives and friends, but the increasingly large number of colored school teachers that it pays to stick, for fortune favors those who have the courage to do so.

If a girl is "womanly" she is attractive in the true sense of the word, whether old-fashioned or up-to-date, for she has the attributes to attract or draw people unto her vix: She is unselfish and therefore always considerate and thoughtful of the comfort and feelings of others. She is unaffected, modest and simple in manner, though she may be ever so clever. She is neat and cleanly about her person, and quiet and refined in her behavior. She is never bold or coarse in language or otherwise. She is from ill-natured gossip and from even act that might cause other people pain. She is willing to listen and does not act as though she knew everything. She is especially kind and respectful to old people. She takes due pride in her appearance and strives to dress suitably and in good taste. She is never a snob, with one set of manners for the high and another for the lowly, but in all places and to all people she is courteous and gentle.

He said he had no desire to be Grand Master for but a single term; felt that I deserved the place and ought to have it, and would stand loyalty by me for his successor in 1912. I was not a candidate for the bench, and only accepted the place after insistence of my friend Myrna. I finally agreed that I should talk two years, relying absolutely upon his honor and integrity. At Baltimore there was tremendous opposition to his election. The order split as a result, and several lodges followed Ambury. There I was imminent to be sworn in, but I broke my promise to the Grand Master and accept election myself. I had from my own State more than half of the votes. Of the 630 votes cast for Grand Master, Georgia alone cast 348. Of the 630 votes cast for the other states, have been elected with the vote of my State alone, but every vote in Georgia was delivered to Morris. Half of the delegation from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, the eastern half of the United States, and in fact 75 per cent of the delegates, through their leaders, and personally, urged me to throw Morris overboard and accept the election, but my word was my bond, and my honor to be sworn in. I was to be to the betrayal of a brother or the evasion of a cow. So the 16th B.M.C. ended in the election of Morris as grand Master and the establishment of the Supreme Court proposition, all of which was the authority of Georgia based upon the good faith and integrity of the Grand Master. Miller the adjournment, before we left Baltimore. Morris again renewed his row and promise of support at Ivy League. I told him that if he desired a second term, in spite of his promise, to advise me in time, as I was a young man and we would try to reach an agreement, but, as I was told, I would be stand for re-election, and that I might go ahead confident that he would support me as loyally, as sincerely and as industriously as I had before. I would be far as his word of mouth is concerned, he kept his promise to me and my friends by repeatedly renewing it until I clocked Friday evening. September 16th the 16th E. M. C. Rumors of Disloyalty "My friends had heard rumors of disloyalty and treachery on the part of Morris from the various parts of the country, but believing absolutely in his power, he would explain away these rumors. Every time I reached our cars that he was untrue and unfaithful, and he was advised of our information, he would raise his hand to God, in whom he does not believe in his power, his honesty and faithfulness. All of this was done for the purpose of keeping us quiet and putting us off the track until he could consummate the conspiracy that he had planned against the integrity of the order and the will of Morris. In order to satisfy himself beyond a reasonable doubt that he had us so completely deceived, he directed me against whom the shaft of his deceitful plot was directed, to call the members of the N. C. M. and the prosecution conference at my office at Morris. "Each member answered promptly to the Grand Master's call. In this meeting he explained that as time was getting short, it was his purpose to agree on a policy or getting through with the delegation. In 12 months the delegation could leave early Saturday morning for Tuskegee or elsewhere. He first explained that he was grieved and very much regretted, because of floating rumors, that his assistance to Brother Davy, had doubted his sincerity, and that he took that method and occasion of reassuring us of his faithfulness, integrity and honor, that a gentleman's pledge existed between himself and the S.C.M. and he was made of excluding this agreement, either by letter or spirit, that we might confidently rely upon him to second Davy's pomination in the event he was nominated, and that this would be done. The S.C.M. would stand could be his best loyal to Brother Davy's cause in Atlanta than Brother Davy was to his cause in Baltimore. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1919 "Our suspicions had not been ground by rumors about, but by continued direct confrontations encouraged and invited by the Grand Master's ruling in the court, but his word generally maintained us, while many of us doubted him and said his conduct was inconsistent with his word, we believed him, for we could not understand how any Old Fellow or master of the court deliberately, wilfully, designating and premeditatively practice and consummate a deception upon the people who created him. But we were deceived in the man, misused by both the Grand Master and the king, in disregard of the law on the part of the Grand Master, we had many reasons to doubt his loyalty, but we allowed his word to stand and did not provide against what day night, after he had, with his hands to God, pledged us loyalty and support and had successfully disbused our minds of disloyalty on his part, the "X" C. voted to into election and the roll master ordered called, the Grand Master presiding. "He was nominated by one W. H. Mixon. I asked the Grand Master, that since he was in the race contrary to his promise, to retire from the chair and permit me to have a taller to count the first. I might have some idea of justice, but he said he was Grand Master and was not going to run and it would not be necessary; that when he made a speech or two more, he was going to carry out his promise, and the choice to the man I did, he did, and all I asked him not. I did not tell him that he did the thing, and all I asked him not. I did not deal, for him to get out of the chair and let us agree on tellers and then hold the election. He said, No. I am Grand Master, and by the authority I told him that he did the thing to call the roll and count the votes myself. I shall not permit you or anybody else to call it. The roll proceed under these conditions for a few moments. Then he called the Deputy Grand Master to the track. He had his one gavel and told him he could have one gavel and order the roll called, but he would do the counting himself. He said, "I will not yield the chair, and you may stand right here by me. I am a good man, and I am not a right to provide. It may be indeed, it may be unfair, but I am a rose bora unknown to blash." The roll proceeded until it got to Georgia, she having present by actual count of our chairman's office. He said, "I am the only man who has come to all of all the votes present." He moved on that time. Morris had taken the vote until it reached Georgia by the method of having them stand. All in favor of his name first; that is, all in favor of Morris' stand; all in favor of David St. John's Whip. He said, "I am the people who himself, that Dengard Georgia's vote, when the Chairman cast it, and said he would count them as he did the others. I yielded and insisted upon his counting our vote. Then he did his- I am the people who have come in and are everybody in the house was standing up, he could not count Georgia's vote, and that he would not call the roll. He demanded and inelated that he call the roll, name and name. I did not do so, saying, "I rule that Georgia's vote shall not be recorded. There can be no election in this confusion." Morris Was Autocratic. "It was then about 12 o'clock. I naked him what he would do about it. He said, I will hold over. The title I secured at Baltimore is better than any one on that title of its legality. I shall hold the session a few hours longer and adjourn without a date, and by the authority in my vestibule, I declare that the session will be over two years. I said then that they must need of our insisting upon a squared deal. He said, 'No square deal or anything else appeals to me. I am going to be Grand Master. I am Grand Master in the vestibule. I no declare myself.'" "Then the Georgia delegation gathered together in the middle of the house, more than five hundred strong, and on an hour made the walkin ring, the roll, the roll, the roll, the roll, but our appeals tell upon deaf ears. His mind had been made up. The conspiracy was complete. Headed by a few more men, we entered the entrance to perperealism against the order and the honor of a man. This, too, was done in the teeth of a gentleman's agreement entered on two years ago and reported to me. We few hours before the session occurred." In addition to pledging his loyalty and support, he had the privilege of every member of the incoming S. C. M. to vote for him for Chief Justice next month, he had pledged me to nominate him, as it was his intention, and wanted to serve out my unexpired term of two years as his final bid of service to the order, and pledged, namely: E. H. McKissack, G. A. Sheehy, W. David Brown, J. S. Noel, W. E. Houston, G. Hayes and C. A. Howze to vote for him and nominated him next January for Chief Justice. "This is the story of how it all happened. Then there was no chance for us to provide against this catastrophe. We had a right to rely upon the Grand Master's word. He was at the head of the situation, and he had him incapable of lying or practicing a deception. All this rot about Georgia's roll being pledged is untrue and without foundation, for the reason we did not feel the necessity, as I expected no opposition, was agreed upon as the adjoining members of the Grand Master, himself was to nominate me, and there would be no earthly reason why he should cheat.

I shall again submit my claims to the brethren and adhere by their decision. I have tendered the order the best years of my life to the brethren.

Maria surprise was manifested in vaudeville circles when it was learned that the well-known act had ceased to do business with the big time people, the prevalent opinion being that while colored acts were persona non grata in the U. R. O. that Fiddler and Shelton would be one of the few colored acts to get consecutive booking this season. Marcus Loew is becoming quite a factor in the vaudeville world nowadays, and last week when Fiddler and Shotton were made a flattering offer to play over the Loew Circuit they considered the proposition seriously for several days. They reached the conclusion that it was better business to play three shows a day for Loew at a good figure and to give consecutive looking than to play but two shows for the Loew locale now and then. Nation parted company and the United people on the best of kinds, would then their going over so they made a business proposition. They had born in New York two mouths and their work was and been given was to cut out the an act that had had an change of the mourn. Theatre were used only as many other and solution completed Chipman Cucum who was attached to the promise was made when care of attacks and crime attempting to be put down was observed that arrest was carried out severally within a week, so they em- mitted of job and wizard who was never turned over to the father and Sle- k-os and night business acce- cences in which I have known and put in their being a treatment to have grabs kind any land and at day to keep the wolf from rely impairing their stand- ing value. --- have one of the most entertaining acts in vaudeville presented by two people. The act has not reached the headline stage but is nifty enough to have been regarded as one of the standard turns on the United for the past three seasons. From an artistic standpoint the charge cannot be made that they do not improve their act, for they are always making changes with a view to strengthening their vehicle of entertainment. Managers and booking agents often complain, and they are many times justified in so doing, of the unreliability of some colored performers, but Fiddler and Shelton bear no such reputation. Then complaint is often registered that the conduct of certain colored performers behind the scenes is far from commendable, but Fiddler and Shelton are known to be gentlemen both on and off the stage. It is therefore puzzling indeed to find a motive for the apathy of the big time managers in giving this colored team its likeliness to make good on the stage. It is liked by the managers for patient and gentlemanly beckoning other register one unit closer to get to the good love of the powers that be is to be as attained. But how to get the desired information is truly a mystery. Managers and booking agents are heard to remark that the public does not want colored acts, and the next minute they are booking white acts that do black-face turns. The crowding out of the business of real colored acts for imitation colored acts has been marked in recent years. A colored act makes a heroic attempt to get booking at a certain house, and the reply is apt to be that as a white act doing black-face has been booked for the date in question it will be impossible to book two acts so near alike on the same bill. The colored act is therefore compelled to lay off. And yet they try to convince colored performers that the public does not want to see colored acts. The colored performer is put to a great disadvantage in vaudeville. His opportunities are limited. With a white actor he can do a Hebrew, Irish or Dutch character, and if he desires he can work under cork. White vaudevillians are also browning up, but with the colored performer he is compelled to stay within the confines of vaudeville marked out by those who say what shall and shall not be. It is natural that any vaudevillian-white or colored—should desire booking over the United in preference to circuits playing more than two shows a day, but any performer shows poor judgment in working one week and laying off three just to say he is on the big time. Fiddler and Shelton have acted wisely in going over to Loew, who is showing a disposition to handle good, reliable colored acts. My advice is to other colored acts of merit who are getting only promises from the United people to do likewise. The playing of Fiddler and Shekton at the Academy Theatre, Baltimore this week also demonstrates how inconsistent are many of the vaudeville managers. They do not play colored acts at Kernan's Maryland Theatre, the United House in Baltimore, the colored vaudevillian being led to believe that the Baltimore playgoers do not want to see dusky variety artists. Loew is cutting on the Maryland Theatre's chictele and we will watch with interest the treatment accorded Fiddler and Shadton. Next week this act goes to Philadelphia, where the Keith people have not played a colored act for several seasons, which once more emphasizes the fact that Loew means the performer more good than the Keith people. The question of who are the most comgenial and who are the greatest "air merchants" should have nothing to do DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS with business matters. The Keith people are easy to admit and goodwill, but they are not giving the colored performers any work. While the phantom "social relationship" should continue to exist between both sides, the colored vade-mortem for the sake of self-preservation do business with those who are the fact that he has rent to mouths so food.

REFE BROB AT CRESCENT The Reese Brothers Africander Company is making a strong bid for popularity at the Crescent Theatre this week and if actions speak for anything they have made many new friends in Harlem. Tuesday evening the weather was very inclement but the rain did not keep the patrons away from the Crescent—the Reese Brothers Africander Company being the magnet. The company consists of thirteen people, nine of whom work on the stage and four in the 'orchestra. The organization opens and closes the bill, appearing first in a ministrel first part and later in plantation and Southern melodies. Ole Reece, who does the old woman in the closing skit, makes a hit with her dancing. Arthur Reece is an acceptable entertainer in the first part. Mrs. F. Flue, soprano, and Henry Thurmann, bass, attract favorable attention, and "Toots" Davis is quite a simple dancer. Then there are Charles Smalle and the Minna Davin and Scott.

The Dallas News, in commenting on "The Darktown Politician," the new show being given by the Southern Smart Set Company, says: "The Smart Set" at the Dallas Opera House last night delighted a large audience of the Ethiopian persuasion occupying the two galleries, which most equally well a smaller audience of Canadians on the first floor. The musical comedy, presented, "The Darktown Politician," was capable and even enthusiastically played S. Tutt Whitney, who wrote and staged the comedy, in the comedian of the play and does his part in a manner really intimidate and, from a standpoint of bringing out the humor of his lines and in the cartoons that is expected of all comedians in such plays, quite equal to many a more famed player of falter in the blanche Thompson as Marie Bellofone. The comedy plays well and singes well, making a particular hit in "Tell Me, Rose." The others of the company are good in their parts. On the whole, many worse shows have been seen in Dallas at far higher prices and claiming much more to themselves. The music is good and catchy and if the prejudice of color be forgotten only a little, as much enjoyment may be gained from canon expect from evening's entertainment. The Smart Set" will be the attraction at the opera house at matinees and night performances to-day. RECITAL AT BOSTON The recital of William Speights tenor, at Saxinert Hall, Boston, Wednesday evening, September 18, was well attended by the music lovers of Boston, who showed appreciation of Mr. Speights' work as well as the other artists on the program. Mr. Speights was assisted by J. Shelton, pianist, and Clarence Cameron White, violinist. Those of us who knew Mr. Coleridge-Taylor best are just beginning to realize that it is really true that our eminent composer has passed to the great beyond. When the news came from London on September 2 that Samuel Coleridge-Taylor had died the day before, we could not believe that this master of only 37 years was no more. But also, it is too true! I believe that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's life and work meant more to the young Negro musician and music student here in America than can be told, in words. That his life was an inspiration to me is putting it mildly. My acquaintance with Mr. Coleridge-Taylor dates back to my student days at Oberlin (1886-1900) when I received from him a number of his violin compositions and a very kind letter saying that Mr. Frederick Loudon, who was then in London, had spoken to him of me. It is useless for me to say how eagerly I practiced those compositions and how many, many times I read and reread that letter. On the occasion of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's first visit to America I had the honor of playing with him for the first time in America his "African Dances" and then was formed a friendship that lasted up till the time of his death. During my two years' study in London it was my great privilege to be his pupil in theory and to play in the famous String Players' Club of which he was then the Conductor. As Landon Ronald, the famous English conductor, says in the London Daily Telegraph of September 3, "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor was inery sense a gentleman and was ever ready to give a helping nand, and had a kindly word for everybody. He was one of the most modest men it has been my lot to meet." And so it was I knew him. In his home he was always the devoted husband and father. How well I remember many delightful walks we had about both London and Croydon, where he lived. Only a few weeks ago I received a long letter from him telling of his new works and of what he had accomplished during the past season and how he was looking forward to his early autumn work. As both friend and teacher I found him a man of great personality and one who out of the goodness of his heart was ever ready with encouraging words and helpful suggestions. He had a keen sense of humor and always enjoyed a good story. Those who knew him best will never forget his cheery smile and affable manner. It was indeed a blessing to know him and count him as a friend. Coleridge-Taylor will live as long as therd is a boy or girl will Negro blood in his or her veins who has the "spirit of song" in his or her heart, and his life and achievements will be a beacon light to all who have the ambition to go on and accomplish great things in the art in which he was such a glorious star. Prominent Horse Trainer Dead. Sheephead Bay mourns the loss of Thomas Greene, one of the widest known and most popular colored trainers in the horse business. "Tom" as he was familiarly called by the racing public, has trained some of the best thoroughbreds entered in the large handicaps. As the head trainer under Jimmy Rowe and also as trainer for Bill Dailey, Senator Hearst of Montana and the Dwyer Brothers, "Tom" Greene, who was 55 years old, held an enviable reputation. After a short illness he died at Harve De Grace, Md, last Thursday, while the race meet was being held. Funeral services were conducted from his home at Little Neck Road, Sheepshead Bay, Sunday. Deceased leaves a widow, Mrs Bertha Fisher-Greene.

Green, widely known as "Tom" Green, trainer of race horses, was held at the First Baptist Church, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, Sunday, September 22. More than five hundred colored and white friends were present. The Rev. J. Ernest Robinson officiated and was assisted by the Rev. L. J. Brown and the Rev. H. Powell. Miss Cora Lee sang "My Mother's Prayer." Dr. Powell delivered the eulogy. The Mt. Olive Lodge, No. 2, F. A. M., held the last rites over the body. Dr. J. W. Barlow, a prominent physician of Flatbush, gave his lambskin apron as an emblem of the order as a token of esteem to deposit in the casket. During his career as a trainer Mr. Green was in the employ of such notable turfmen as R. Bradley, Bill Daly, James R. Keene, W. C. Whitney, and he was with the latter at his death. He trained such celebrated horses as "Voter," "Le Panto," "Virgy" and "Salvatella," and was the first trainer to win the Metropolitan Handicap with a three-year-old, and others. He also assisted in training Sysonsby, Colon and Celt. He made an enviable record at Brighton Beach track in 1895 by winning five races in one day, which made the eighty-eighth for that season. This was the greatest record ever made by any trainer up to that time. Mr. Green died at Havre de Grace after an illness of about ten days of typhoid fever. At his death he was assistant trainer for W. C. Whitney. Mr. Green had no children, but for nineteen years had been a devoted husband to Mrs. Bertha Fisher Green, who survives him. He also has surviving him one sister, nieces, nephews, cousins, sister-in-law and mother-in-law The floral designs were numerous and beautiful. Among the donors were James R. Keene, James Rowe and Frank Clarke, and twenty-five others, including church clubs. Among the auditors were several of the best white citizens of Sheepshead Bay. Letters of condolence were read at the service were from James R. Keene and the Rev. Dr. Wm. M. Moss. The body was interred in Evergreen Cemetery. YOUNGSTOWN.
